"Robust and reliable backup solution"

4/5

What do you like best about Veritas NetBackup?

Support for multiple environments and platforms.

Ability to add new backup policies on the go.

Reliable compared to other backup solutions in the market.

Faster and reliable recovery possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Veritas NetBackup?

Many backups fail with exit code -1 which should have option to ignore and to show higher percentage of successful backups.

Support from Vertias is not up to the mark.

Need better reporting system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Veritas NetBackup:

I think you should go for it as this is one of the best backup solutions available in the market. Over the years it has developed leadership in this area and they have added more features and functionalities from time to time. It will also help you if you are looking at disaster recovery options. You got all the features and options to support your backup and recovery requirements. Be careful if you have very specific backup requirements. You need to check if this is available in the netbackup or if any option would take care of your requirement. The graphical interface is very useful and good interface with command line. The help available is sufficient to cover common day to day issues and are easily available on various portal/forums. I would suggest you to take support from the vendor for initial support and then engage NB administrator for day to day support. Overall an excellent product to go with.

"Great Enterprise Level Backup solution"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Veritas NetBackup?

Single console for multiple backup needs.

The ability to configure and maintain one SLP across sites, applications and platform.

Migrating to NetBackup has help us a lot in reducing the amount of time needed to monitor, verify and manage our backups. As well as faster recovery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Veritas NetBackup?

User interface is not very modern, and HyperV support is not as comprehensive ans VMware.

There are few challenges to overcome when backing up HyperV clusters that require VMM to work-around.

That makes the solution a bit less flexible, and depended on VMM for successful backups of VMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
